Father delivers own daughter at home By CYNTHIA HAGGITT Calhoun News-Herald

oey Joyce Ann Meyer will have quite a story to tell when she gets older because, unlike other babies, Meyer was not born in the hospital. At precisely 3:26 a.m. on July 8, she came into the world—delivered by her father Matt Meyer. However on Wednesday, Meyer’s wife, Tara Ann, began having labor contractions. As her contractions increased the couple went to Alton Memorial (AMH). She is the Director of Rehab Nursing at AMH. “We waited there for about 6.5 hours but the hospital told us to go home and come back when my labor was farther along,” said Meyer. She said, “We went home and waited. Around 3:10 a.m., I woke up and went outside to sit with the cat.” Meyer said she was outside when a pain struck . “I started screaming, and it took me over five minutes just to get back inside due to the pain.” Meyers said that her husband,

Matt, was asleep and woke up when he heard her scream. “So I quickly ran to Tara and went to grab a towel. Well, when I got back to where she was, everything went down very quickly!” he said. “She was there screaming and after having another contraction, all of sudden, I could see her head. Next thing I knew I had caught her and held her with the towel.” The mother, Tara Ann, said she was so thankful that her 17 year old daughter, Abagail was there to help too. “She helped with the clean up after Zoey was born, and during the birth.” She said,”Abigail kept bringing us towels, she cleaned me up, helped clean up Matt after he caught the baby.” “I was shocked, and when it came time for an ambulance the only number I dialed was George Baecht.” After a few minutes ,when Zoey was delivered, a ‘telephone tag’ began. “Baecht called his wife, Yvonne, who then phoned Anita Baecht, who is a retired paramedic,” he said. “Matt called Calhoun County ambulance volunteer service,” Tara Ann said. “EMT Amy Friedel

responded to scene and EMT Kathy Brackett responded with the ambulance.” Matt said, “Two workers from Jersey County’s Advanced Life Support (ALS) responded,” he said, “The ALS’s workers were named Misty and Alvin. The ALS’s workers were dispatched by a Jersey ambulance,” Matt said the mom and baby left by Calhoun County transport to AMH with a trained paramedic onboard. Mother, Father and baby Zoey are all doing fine. “I am sore and good,” Tara Ann said. “The baby is good and she is healthy.” “She weighed 6 pounds, 14 ounces, and was born at 3:26 a.m.” This is the Meyers’ first child together and they named her Zoey Joyce Ann Meyer. They both explained the reasoning behind Zoey’s two middle names and why it was special to them both. “Tara’s middle name is Ann and her grandmother’s name was Joyce Ann,” Matt said. “Also Matt’s mother’s name was Joyce Ann Meyer.” said Meyer’s wife. “The irony of the situation is interesting because earlier on I was talking to Norma Kabili and

Samanatha Kaufman discusses her bull calf with the judge during the Section 13 Livestock Fair and the Greene County Fairgrounds.

Calhoun FFA starts to see return to normal By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald Last month, Calhoun High School’s Samantha Kaufman represented the Warriors well at the Illinois FFA Section 13 Livestock Fair, where she took home the prized blue ribbon with her yearling bull and placed fourth with her heifer. The show was held at the Greene County Fairgrounds east of Carrollton and included participants from all over Section 13, which is made up of Pike, Morgan, Scott, Greene and Calhoun county schools. “Samantha did an excellent job for it being her first time,” Calhoun FFA Advisor Heidi Doyle said. According to Doyle, the show had already been planned before the state went into Phase 5 of Gov. JB Prtizker’s Restore Illinois plan, but nevertheless the in-person event sounds off a state that is starting to return to normalcy following a year of canceled events and rites of passage missed for students in the area. “With the state moving into Phase 5, it will allow us to attend more in-

person events,” Doyle said. “It also allows members to get to meet members from other chapters.” According to Doyle, the lack of inter-chapter relationships has been one of the major downfalls of COVID for local FFA chapters. “The students have missed out on numerous events— leadership camp, leadership training school for the section and the end-of-the-year banquet for both the section and chapter,” Doyle explained. “They were also unable to attend the national convention last year.” Not only that, but students involved in FFA in Calhoun have missed not being able to play a more involved role in the section, which will be able to change in the coming school year. “With the state moving to Phase 5, it will allow our personal chapter to host and attend more events,” Doyle said. There’s two events in particular that Doyle and her students are looking forward to attending. “We will be attending both the Farm Progress Show and the National FFA Convention this fall,” Doyle said.

By CYNTHIA HAGGITT Calhoun County News-Herald Kampsville has opened up the city streets to utility vehicles and golf carts, but a person must be licensed and of legal age when driving such a vehicle. Recently Mayor Wade Gibson has learned there have been some problems with under aged drivers of go-carts, golf carts and all terrain vehicles(ATVS) without permits. The village has now put out an ordinance to inform what the village’s requirements are and they are as follows: ■ Proof of liability insurance, meeting Illinois state law ■ Must have headlights and taillights operated at all times when driven through the streets ■ Golf carts, All terrain vehicles and recreational golf carts may not be operated during dangerous weather conditions ■ Golf carts, ATVs and go carts may not be driven on sidewalks or Village parks other than parking areas ■ Golf carts, ATVs and Recreational vehicles must adhere to all speed limit signs 35 miles an hour but cannot exceed 25 miles an hour ■ No unsafe modifications can be made to vehicle’s suspension. “The ordinance basically states that golf carts and atvs must have special headlights, horns, a steering wheel, review mirrors, side mirrors and a caution sign that needs to be hung on the driver’s side,” Gibson said. “Also everyone who wants to drive must be at least 18 years old and have a valid driver's license that is issued by the state of Illinois or any other state.” The document also explains that all

vehicles’ headlights must be visible at 500 ft and taillights at 100 ft. The permit number must be at least three inches high and visible on the driver’s side and there must be a sign on the rear back that illuminates and shows--slow moving vehicle. Some other points in the document emphasizes that no one will be under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs. All vehicles must yield to the right away of all oncoming cars or trucks. There must not be more than two people in the vehicle. Children must be properly seated with seatbelts while the vehicle is in motion and drivers must not drive recklessly. Patrons may park in parking lots and in hadicapped spaces but they must display a handicapped sticker as stated with the state of Illinois motor vehicles. If a person is handicapped they must show proof to the Village of Kampsville that the physician has signed off for that person and they must be physically able to operate such a vehicle. All insurance must be verified by the Village of Kampsville when a person wants to apply for a permit or if they are renewing a permit. Also the Village of Kampsville has the right to revoke a permit if found that an owner of the vehicle has not complied with these rules set by the ordinance. “The issue really has come to a halt,” Gibson said. “In order to operate this type of vehicle the Village of Kampsville stresses that you must be a licensed driver and of age to drive.” Gibson said,”We have not had to give out any citations since this came out.” (See, ORDINANCE, A2)

The UFO Report Gets a Closer Look By BILL HOAGLAND The long-awaited Pentagon report on UFOs was made available to the public late Friday, June 25. As widely predicted, this report basically states that while recent UFO sightings cannot be explained, the US Government is not willing to acknowledge that they might have an extraterrestrial origin. This report was disappointing to a lot of people for a lot of reasons. So I thought before I got too critical, I probably ought to read the nine page report in its entirety, which I have now done. Obviously, I did not have access to the classified portion of the report, but we can probably figure out what it says as well. To summarize the report, it states that there are 143 UFO sightings that cannot be explained. In getting to that point, the report states that these mystery sightings do not relate to US military weapons nor are they thought to be something that the Russians, Chinese or other adversaries have secretly developed; the technology appears to be too far advanced for any of us. The report concludes with the statement that despite the fact that the US, Russia, China and other adversaries do not appear to be responsible for these UFOs, there is no evidence that these sightings are extraterrestrial. Who do they think it is— Steven Spielberg with a new movie trailer? If you are as disappointed as I was at first, it does help to take a closer look at that report. The purpose of requiring the report in the first place was to determine whether these recent UFO sightings represent a threat to the security of the United States. It was not to determine whether the government has possession of alien bodies, crash debris from a spaceship or some other tangible evidence

of an extraterrestrial presence. In other words, the government was asked to reveal only information regarding “aerial” activities and by definition, that would seem to exclude nonaerial objects (such as alien bodies, spacecraft debris and so on). The report further clarifies that it is providing information only for aerial observations between 2004 and March 2021 and only those observations during that time frame by military personnel that were recorded and reported “up the flagpole ‘’. That means the report did not consider many more observations during that time frame by military personnel who decided not to report it up the flagpole out of fear of ridicule or reprisals. In fact, in 2019 the Pentagon decided that it needed to decree that UFOs be henceforth referred to as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) for the express purpose of encouraging military personnel to report these sightings without being labeled as a “looney-tunes”. So it has only been in the last two years that we are assured that the military is getting full UFO reports from its personnel. Before 2019, the reporting was sporadic. Then we have all the sightings that occurred before 2004 that are not considered at all in this report. Those sightings even go back to WWII, when during a bombing raid over Berlin, American pilots encountered a string of UFOs overhead. (Obviously, they were not German because they did not attack the bombers.) In 1952, the US Air Force began keeping track of UFO sightings by listing them in a so-called “Project Blue Book”, which listed 12,618 sightings, including 701 unexplained sightings between 1952 and 1969; the project was discontinued in December 1969. None of these sightings are considered

Ordinance

(Continued from A1) “We will give out a warning on first attempt violations. Then action will be taken if violations are found and a suspension of your permit will be issued,” Gibson said According to the ordinance the enforcement of th the law are as follows: Q Fine will be no less than $150.00 and no more than $750.00 for each violation. Q A second violation of this ordinance shall be suspended up to 1 year. Q Suspension will happen if the Village of Kampsville and the village board finds evidence if you do not apply to safety driving rules when driving on the village streets Q The Village of Kampsville will not be held accountable with any expense incurred by an applicant for the cost of the said permit

“All sticker purchases can be made at the Village of Kampsville Hall and when buying the permit a person must show their driver’s license and proof of insurance. Also the vehicle requirements

in the 2021 report. In short, we have a lot more than just 143 unexplained sightings. With respect to the 2021 disclosures, the Office of National Intelligence states that they need to continue to analyze the videos that they do have because they cannot determine how or why these UFOs are able to function the way that they do. In other words, we will probably be receiving additional analyses on what was disclosed on June 25. A portion of the report submitted to Congress was classified. My guess is that the classified part discusses what we currently know about Russian and Chinese technology and why we don’t think they have the technical ability to create what we are seeing with regard to these UFOs. The June 25 report is disappointing to the extent it does not allow for any possibility that these sightings may relate to extraterrestrial sources but truth is, this report barely scratches the surface. The good news is that it may encourage more military and non-military observers to come forward and help get this mystery solved, which we need to do; these sightings are real and not going away. ––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors.

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS Q Kampsville News

by Diane Brangenberg Q 618-535-5915

That storm Saturday night just about blew and washed us away. It did take out a bridge in Silver Creek. Due to the Fourth of July holiday, the Friday deadline and my vacation I didn’t have a column last week so this week I have to make up for it with lots of news. Lots of great things are happening here in Kampsville. On Saturday, July 3, the place to be was Kampsville.An amazing fireworks display put on by the Pavilion as well as a DJ that evening made a fun and festive holiday. Our campground was at full capacity and all of the businesses in town were busy and that’s how we like it. Marcia Agney headed up a basket raffle to benefit the Kampsville Summer Celebration. Thanks to Mark and Deb Becker at the Pavilion for letting it be set up there all day we were able to raise some very nice funds to help with the celebration. Also thanks to all who donated baskets. We are so excited to announce that we are working full steam on the Kampsville Summer Celebration. We have lots of exciting things planned. New this year will be a small parade to start our festivities off beginning at 10 AM. We encourage everyone to participate. We’ve lots planned as far as games and fun go. We also have an obstacle course and bouncy house. There will be a petting zoo and pony rides as well. Anyone wanting to sign up for Little Miss or Mr. Kampsville, Baby or Toddler Pageants contact myself or Lindsey Taul. If you are interested in being a vendor at the event please get a hold of Debby Klunk. Don’t forget about our BBQ Cook-off. Judging begins at 1 p.m. and tasting begins at 2p.m. For more information you can contact Wade Gibson 618-4091188 or Melody Seimer 217-371-3405. Anyone wanting more information on the “Summer Celebration'' can contact Diane Brangenberg at 618-535-5915, Wade Gibson at 618-409-1188, Debby Klunk at 618-9805961 or James Palmer as 618-771-1082. The Summer Celebration Committee will be hosting a Spaghetti Dinner on Sunday, July 25, at the Kampsville Legion beginning at 1 pm. Basket Raffles & 50/50 will be available.

This event is free and open to the public. McCully’s Heritage Project added a new piece of play equipment to the playground this week. Thanks to the donation arranged by Alice McAdams. Former employees of Fox Creek Farms got together for a Fish Fry on Saturday, July 3. Many young boys got their first job on that farm to help pay for college and continue their education. The work ethic is something they have carried with them throughout their lives. The group enjoyed reminiscing visiting with each other and enjoyed watching the fireworks. Not all attended the event and three have passed on , but they were definitely remembered. Many stories were told regarding their work in the farrowing houses, painting the white board fence, building fences, raking and putting up hay and many more antics. James and Sharon Ewen may not have had any children of their own , but truth be told they helped raise many young men. Sharon has since passed and James still farms along with Mark Brangenberg. Miss Calhoun Junie Zirkelbach , Jr. Miss Joy Hurley, Little Miss Kate Adams and Little Mr. Drew Wickenhauser have been very busy this summer. Covid-19 kept them from getting to represent our county last summer so they are definitely making up for it this year. They have attended the Pleasant Hill parade, The Brussels

Fourth of July parade and festivities, Greene County and Morgan County fairs. All four of them do a wonderful job representing our county. Tickets are now available for the Calhoun Entertainment Company’s Musical “Grease “ July 30, 31 and August 1 at the Fairgrounds. I sat in on just a little bit of the practice on Sunday afternoon and let me tell you-- you definitely don’t want to miss it. It's going to be awesome so get your tickets. Happy Birthday to Jon Weber on Friday, July 9 and Colleen Schumann on Saturday, July 10. Congratulations to Grandpa Dan Pohlman, on the arrival of his newest granddaughter, Cora June. June’s parents are Steven and Amanda Knight. Dan shares this honor of being grandpa to Cora, with another of our Kampsville Ferry pilots, Don Knight. Kampsville has definitely felt a loss this week. Lester Benz passed away on Thursday, July 8. Lester was an active member of our American Legion. He and his wife Judy helped us so much this year with the Christmas party for the town kids. He was an amazing woodworker and I am blessed to say he made me several bowls, a plaque with my name on it and two gorgeous tables that I will treasure. Mostly the thing that I always think about when I think of Lester is how much fun he was to talk to. He was always laughing and joking with you. He was truly a wonderful man to know. Please keep his wife Judy, sons Chris and Mark and granddaughters in your prayers. Sympathy to the Jerome Elmore family as Jerome recently passed. Elmore taught for many years here in Kampsville at Calhoun Jr. High. He was very special and had a great gift to offer--he was a teacher of special education and made a difference in many kids' lives. Please keep his wife, Karen and sisters, Sheri Elmore and Marty Sofray, as well as his many nieces and nephews in your prayers. Continued prayers for all who are recuperating and they are as follows: Margie Smith,. Bruce Williams, Joe Gress, Jim Hill, Raymond Sievers, Mary Jo Kress, Joyce Blumenberg, Darren Kress, Rick Randazzo, Joanne Beiker, Amy Roth, Mary Ann Bailey, Kurt Roth, Mark Bowers, Isabel McGlaughin, Bill Schumann, Eileen Gardner, Linda Herkert, Jerry Crader, and Kathryn Chapman.

aints and sages are exemplary because they have attained a level of perfection which few mortals ever reach. And despite the impossibility, the great teachers have generally told us to be perfect. Consider the words of Jesus: “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48 NIV) Saints and sages often ask us to live in a way that is almost impossible: to love one’s enemies (Christianity); to extinguish greed, aversion, and delusion (Buddhism); and to always act virtuously (Stoicism and various other philosophies). Ironically, the closer one gets to these ideals, the more one demands this only of oneself and

never of others. The perfect person expects others to fail, and knows that he or she will occasionally fail, if only in thought and not necessarily in word or deed. The more perfect we become, the gentler we should be with those who are imperfect, including ourselves in our moments of imperfection. Seek perfection, striving to become a saint and a sage, but have patience, as this is a project for a long and blessed life. –Christopher Simon

100 years ago July 14, 1921

Of the modish black satin, but distinctive in cut, is this redingote from Paris. The wide sleeves are as convenient as they are graceful and charming, for they prevent the satin from being too warm for a summer wrap.

This very pretty frock of white crepe is embroidered in most winsome flowers and is an outfit that is sure to appeal to many women. Ads like these were featured in the Calhoun News weekly in its early years, next to Gold Medal flour ads, medicinal products for indigestion and Castoria, among numerous others. Their consistent appearance testifies to the inspiration they provided for the young ladies of Calhoun County when it came to their tastes in fashion. 75 years ago July 11, 1946 The World War II Honor List of dead and missing in the State of Illinois has just been released by the War Department. It contains the latest and most complete data available on all military personnel who were killed or died or became and remained missing, between the President’s declaration of unlimited national emergency on May 27, 1941, and the cutoff date of this report, Jan. 31, 1946, and includes both battle and non-battle dead or missing. The State of Illinois contained 5.88 percent of the population of the United States and possessions in 1946 and contributed 6.14 percent of the total number who entered the Army. Of these men and women of Illinois who went to war, 3.04 percent failed to return. The figure represents 6.07 percent of

the Army’s total dead and missing. No civilians are included in the report, or Navy, Marine or other branches. For Calhoun County, there were a total of 23 casualties. Sixteen were killed in action, 3 died of wounds, 4 died nonbattle and 2 finding of death. The list for Calhoun is as follows: Sgt. Joseph G. Anderson, KIA; Pfc. Carl Beisman, DOW; Pfc. David Burns, KIA; Pvt. Jewell H. Dierking, DNB; Pvt. Ernest B. Draper, DOW; Pvt. Curtis O. Flory, KIA; Pvt. George H. Funk, FOD; S. Sgt. Gerald V. Hamilton, KIA; Cpl. Robert L. Jones, FOD; Sgt. Lyman G. Kamp, KIA; Pfc. Delbert J. Matthews, KIA; Pfc. Otto C. Meseke, KIA; Sgt. Robert J. Mielke, KIA; Tec. 5 Charles J. Pepper, KIA; S. Sgt. Paul J. Pohlman, KIA; Sgt. James A. Roth, DNB; Pfc. Leo H. Vogel, KIA; Av. C. Glenn C. Wieneke, DNB; Pvt. Clyde Reddish, KIA; Sgt. Elba Davis, KIA; Cpl. George H. Long, Jr., KIA; Pvt. Harold W. Long, KIA; Lt. Robert Clay Long, KIA. Pfc. Albert F. Meyer of the Marines and Eugene Kirn of the Navy also lost their lives, as did Lawrence Schumann of the Army recently, making a total of 26 deaths in Calhoun County servicemen. 50 years ago July 15, 1971 Northwestern University archeologists at the Koster Site across the river at Spankey in Greene County last week unearthed the body of an Indian child believed to have been buried there at least 6,000 years ago. The discovery was made on horizon 10 or 11 near where last year the expedition discovered the remains of a dog dating back to 500 B.C. Depth of the excavation at the time of the discovery was 28 feet. Jim Mueller, assistant to Dr. Stuart E. Struever, who is in charge of the expedition, told the News that the bones found were that of an immature human, about two or three years of age, and that their preliminary estimate of burial was 4,500 to 5,100 B.C. The discovery was the most important find of the expedition this season, which started last month at the Koster Site, Mueller said. Sue Howser and Martha Pottinger, two of the Northwestern students, were digging at the time of the discovery. The body was ceremonially covered with red ochre, they told the News. Ochre is an earthy substance, usually red or yellow and is composed of impure iron ore used as a pigment. The infant was found in good preservation, Mueller said, and it was buried on its left side with the arms fully extended and the lower extremities bent at the knees. The ribs and limb bones were very well preserved, Mueller said. The skull at the highest point was crushed by soil compaction, but the under part of the skull was still intact but underground. A vertebrae was found above the thigh, which was unusual, Mueller pointed out. The archeologists have as yet found no teeth of the child, but believe this is not significant, as they might have not dug deep enough, they said. There was no burial pit surrounding the body, but the fact that it was covered with ochre leads those at the expedition to believe that someone cared enough for it to do this and give it a burial with some ceremony. The bones have not been brought to the surface yet, as Dr. Struever wants to wait until further excavation can be completed.

Hardin, Illinois

Then the bones will be sent to a physical anthropologist for study as to the cause of death and a more exact time of burial. Miss Howser and Miss Pottinger said they were pleasantly surprised to have been the ones to make the discovery during their turn at digging. The remains of the dog which were discovered last year dated back to 500 B.C., it was determined later by radiocarbon tests on two pieces of wood recovered from the same level as the dog skeleton. The radiocarbon measurements indicated dates of from 500 B.C. to 5,100 B.C. The skeleton of the dog was about the size of a modern fox terrier, and was nearly complete and in very good condition, according to F.C. Hill, graduate student in ethnozoology at the University of Louisville, who studied the remains. The head of the Koster dog was somewhat larger than a modern dog, although its body was fairly small, about 17 to 20 inches in height at the shoulder, Hill said. The presence of two fires near the dog suggested the possibility of a ceremonial interment, and flint knives, spearheads and scrapers were found near the remains of the dog. The Koster Site is the deepest and one of the oldest archeological sites in Illinois. It is becoming quite famous as a tourist attraction and guided tours are conducted each weekend. The museum at Kampsville is now open to the public and is drawing large attendances by interested persons. The Winnetka Junior High School students, who are interested in such excavations, worked at the Koster Site for a week. 25 years ago July 17, 1996 The Calhoun Medical Center is taking shape very quickly off Fowler Road in Hardin. November 19 was the original completion date. However, Morrissey Construction Company of Godfrey is hoping to have the medical center building finished before then. They were delayed earlier by rain and then again when Dr. Robert Parish wanted to utilize a portion of the basement for his dental practice. The architects Nova Group, Inc., of Hazelwood, Mo., are redesigning the lower level. Morrissey has had to make some plumbing adjustments that were below the concrete floor. After making these minor adjustments, they poured part of the concrete floor, but left the other part where Parish’s space will be. That way, Nova can finish the plans and identify the exact location for Parish’s plumbing items. After this, Morrissey can continue to work. “I think things are gearing back up now,” Engineer Dave Godar of Sheppard, Morgan & Schwaab, Inc. of Alton said. Subcontractors are beginning to come in now to begin their work. Most of the rough grading on the site work is completed. Godar said that since Nova was the original designer of the building, they would have the plans and it would be easy for them to make the necessary adjustments. “A letter was sent to the Economic Development Administration (EDA) requesting this change for Parish. We got a response back that there should be no problem. They will review it in further detail when a change order is submitted after some of the costs of these changes are known. That is encouraging,” Godar said. The original cost of this project was $762,113, which will come from an EDA/DCCA grant.

Visitors can begin the day at the Gift Shop located in the Garritt B & Jane E Buikstra Archaeological Lab (old Kampsville school). There you will find a map and schedule of special events. Guests can try their hands at making clay pots, washing artifacts, and knapping a stone tool. Also visitors may bring along their artifacts and have the center’s experts explain more about them. Visit the German Site and learn what has been discovered about the people living there. For additional information email or call 618-653-4316.
